Criminal justice professionals and criminologists have assumed a central role in researching, formulating,implementing and evaluating public policy designed to control crime. Crime transcends all geographical,social and economic boundaries, affecting all countries and demographic strata.

Controlling crime requires knowledge of individual and social factors that lead to criminal behavior, andstrategies and practices to control crime. Criminal justice is the study of the administration, organization,goals, processes, practices, roles, philosophies and histories of organizations created to prevent andcontrol crime and dilenquency.

These include the police and law enforcement agencies, courts, community-based corrections andcorrectional institutions. The criminal justice program at St. Mary's University focuses on the integrationof liberal studies with the professional preparation of the student.

The criminal justice degree prepares graduates for a variety of employment opportunities in the privateand public sectors. The program aims to develop students' critical thinking, problem solving,communications, and technology skills that will help them excel in the criminal justice field.

Criminal justice professionals and criminologists have assumed a central role in researching, formulating,implementing and evaluating public policy designed to control crime. Crime transcends all geographical,social and economic boundaries, affecting all countries and demographic strata.

Controlling crime requires knowledge of individual and social factors that lead to criminal behavior, andstrategies and practices to control crime.

Criminology is the study of the causes, prevention and treatment of criminal behavior, and the social andenvironmental factors that are associated with crime in society.

Criminology explores the relationship between the field of criminology, criminal justice organizations,and social service agencies whose responsibility it is to control crime and protect society. Students areintroduced to the roles of the offender, victim and society in exploring the reasons why criminal behavioroccurs.

The criminology program at St. Mary's University integrates liberal studies with professional preparation.Individuals who are interested in pursing a career in the research or evaluation of crime control and crimeprevention programs should consider criminology as a major.

Designed to meet the growing need for communication professionals skilled in a variety of writing styles,the English-Communication Arts major (EA) is a unique interdisciplinary degree plan which has been thechoice for many successful alumni. The program offers students the opportunity to hone their criticalthinking and writing abilities, integrating these with media-production skills, in preparation for rewardingcareers and enriched lives in a rapidly changing world. Because the degree is rooted in the Humanities,students explore various areas in literature and theory to develop their metaphorical thinking and creativeabilities.

The EA degree examines how the power of both language and image are used to promote the commongood, as students wrestle with how their own communication practices enhance, not only their personaland professional pursuits, but also their engagement in the civic realm. Recent research by the NationalAssociation of Colleges and Employers and the National Commission on Writing indicates thatcommunication skills, particularly written ones, are the skills employers most value in college graduates.Aware of this demand, EA majors graduate having trained in several writing styles in areas such as thefollowing: journalism, public relations, technical writing, publication writing, and corporatecommunications. In their junior or senior year, students have the opportunity to apply their growingknowledge in a professionally based internship. Recent students have interned in the White House,Bromley Communications, the San Antonio Express-News, the Dallas Cowboys, the San Antonio Spurs,WOAI-TV, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and the San Antonio YouthOrganization, as well as many others.

MISSION STATEMENT

The St. Mary's University Department of Philosophy teaches and guides students in philosophicalinquiry, helping them to integrate the study of philosophy as an academic discipline with the practice ofphilosophy as a way of life. To acquaint students with philosophy as an academic discipline, we begintheir education in the twenty-five-century-long philosophical conversation about ultimate ideas andvalues; help them develop facility with philosophic methods of inquiry; and ready them for possiblegraduate studies in philosophy, law, and a wide range of academic and professional programs for whichphilosophy provides an excellent preparation. To introduce students to philosophy as a way of life, wehelp them engage in critical self-understanding and self-appropriation, while encouraging responsibleparticipation in the various communities that form their social environment: the university, society, theworld, and the community of faith. As integral to our mission, we as faculty attempt to embody themeaning of philosophy through our pursuit of critical inquiry in the classroom, and in our professionaland social lives. Through teaching courses in the Core Curriculum, we also bring philosophical inquiry asa way of life to all students at St. Mary's University. Philosophy, so conceived, taught, practiced, andlived, belongs alongside theology at the authentic core of a Marianist education.

THE PROGRAMS

The philosophy department invites students who are majoring in any other area to consider a secondmajor in philosophy. A major in philosophy can deepen a student's appreciation of any subject and willprepare the student for graduate work in either field. Furthermore, while many students who major only inphilosophy will go on to graduate school in philosophy, the department nevertheless encourages itsmajors to pursue a second major or a minor in a different field. Even those students who plan to apply to

philosophy graduate school would benefit from exposure to other disciplines which could provide gristfor reflection, analysis, and an exploration of conceptual foundations. It is not uncommon for students topursue graduate studies in philosophy "of something," such as philosophy of science, philosophy of art,philosophy of mathematics, political philosophy, and so forth.

Degree Plans For sample degree plans, see this URL: http://www.stmarytx.edu/registrar/?go=deg_plans

MAJOR PROGRAM (30 hours): (1) Seven required courses: PL 2310, PL 3360, PL 3361, PL 3362, PL3363, PL 3364, and 4395; (2) Three upper-division (33XX or 43XX) PL electives.

MINOR PROGRAM (18 hours): (1) One required course: PL 2310; (2) Three historical courses fromamong the following: PL 3360, PL 3361, PL 3362, PL 3363, PL 3364; (3) Two upper-division (33XX or43XX) PL electives, which may be either historical or topical.

St. Mary's Core

SMC 1311 Foundations of Reflection: Self This course explores foundational questions about human existence and a human being's relationship toreality. It starts with a focus on a person's natural inclination to wonder, and on how inquiry movespersons to find intelligible meaning in experiences. It proceeds by examining the basic structure ofconscious activity, which allows students to discover what they are doing when they are experiencing,understanding, knowing, and deciding. The goal of this analysis is the student's critical self-appropriationof their own natures as knowers and doers. The course introduces the student to the origins of suchsystematic and critical self-appropriation in ancient Greece, in the philosophical activities of Socrates andPlato. It explores how the most basic and overarching questions about human existence that were askedby the first philosophers are still those that must be asked if people are to penetrate below the facts ofeveryday life to think deeply about what is real, true, valuable, just, and meaningful in human life. Theyinclude such questions as: Who am I? What is real? Can I know what is truly worthwhile? Does Godexist? Does history have a meaning? What is justice? Thus the course examines how critical self-reflection illuminates human and humane living in a way crucial to personal development.

SMC 2301 Foundations of Practice: Ethics This course develops a unified set of concepts and skills that form the foundation of objective moralreasoning. Included among those concepts are freedom, responsibility, the particular good, the commongood, and the transcendent good. It elucidates those moral structures and precepts that are not onlyimplicit in the nature of consciousness but also necessary for the flourishing of civilization. Thus, it buildsupon the central ideas from SMC 1311 and SMC 1301. Prerequisites: SMC 1301, 1311, 1312, 1313, and1314.

SMC 2301 EG Foundations of Practice: Ethics Same as SMC 2301. For engineering students only. Must also include a one-hour lab for guideddiscussions of cases in engineering ethics.

Sociology is the social science that studies human groups and society. It explores the multiple influencesthat groups exert in our personal lives: friendships, marriages, families, work units, businesses, schools,neighborhoods, organizations, communities, churches and clubs, among others.

In addition, sociology analyzes how and why groups form, hold together, and sometimes break up. Itseeks an accurate and scientific understanding of society and of social life.

Likewise, sociology explores the many social and cultural forces that operate throughout societyâforces that form individual persons, shape their attitudes and behaviors, and determine social events.

Sociology students learn countless applied and practical ways to change and to improve human life.Through the study of society, students learn how to deal more effectively with others while developingtheir thinking, analytical, problem-solving, research and communication skills.

The theological task calls students to engage in rigorous academic inquiry and practical service in societythrough consistent witness to, and practice of, the truth of theological discovery. Theology courses at St.Mary's University are designed to bring students to an understanding of the basic models, language andsources of the Catholic Christian tradition. The theology major will achieve the appropriate level offluency to make a positive contribution to the theological enterprise.

Theology by its very nature is interdisciplinary and involves the ability to think critically about importantissues. Theology is founded upon the assumption that everyone, by virtue of their human nature, dealswith certain fundamental questions of meaning and existence. St. Mary's helps students examine anew thetheological answers that have been given in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is hoped that students cometo possess a renewed awareness of the presence and urgency of these fundamental issues in their ownlives and of the responses given by Catholic Christian thought.

Students who aspire to the health professions pursue a curriculum devoted almost exclusively to thenatural sciences in search of technical expertise. The programs in the Department of Biological Scienceslead to the B.A. or B.S. degree and prepare students for employment or additional studies in professionalor graduate school. Students earning a B.A. or B.S. degree also earn a minor in chemistry. The B.S. inForensic Science (Biology Option) is a rigorous major covering both the science and law aspects of thisprominently expanding scientific field. Students completing this degree will be adequately prepared toobtain employment at a Forensic Crime laboratory, to pursue graduate studies in a number of specialtieswithin the field, or to enter a variety of professional schools. The B.A. degree with teacher certificationsatisfies the requirements for teacher certification by the Texas State Board for Educator Certification.

The study of biological sciences at St. Mary's University includes a broad-based curriculum and extensivescientific training designed to prepare well-rounded health care professionals. Students develop writtenand oral communication skills, critical thinking and analytical skills, and an understanding and respect forethical and moral concerns. The first two years of the program are a common set of courses in generalbiology followed by genetic principles and cell biology. Following completion of the first two years ofstudy, students enroll in a total of four advanced biology electives which can include anatomy, generalphysiology, microbiology, transmission genetics, comparative anatomy, neurophysiology, comparativephysiology, genes & genomes, developmental biology, immunology, medical microbiology or molecularbiology. The final year includes a two-semester biochemistry course. All of the biology courses requiredfor the major have a laboratory component that are meant to develop hands-on learning experiences.

Because our students display competence, dedication and compassion, they are readily accepted intograduate programs, the health professions, biomedical research and teaching fields.

Today, computers are used in all aspects of business, technology and education. They have becomeintegral parts of automobiles, instrumentation for aeronautics and space exploration, medical devices,factory automation, artificial intelligence systems and telecommunications networks. Computer engineersgain their unique expertise from both the electrical engineering, and computer science disciplines.

The electrical engineering background integrates the theory and design of electronics hardware with theknowledge of electronic circuits and devices, digital logic, digital systems, microprocessors, embeddedsystems, hardware organization, and computer system architecture.

The computer science background includes software engineering, data structures, operating systems,database design, analysis and design of algorithms, and programming languages.

The computer engineering program at St. Mary's University successfully combines these two disciplinesto prepare a new kind of engineer with a solid foundation that provides for the design of both electronichardware and computer software.

The B.S. in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Moreover, the language of mathematics is truly a universallanguage, transcending ethnic, societal, and national boundaries. Finally, mathematics also is a criticalfilter, opening doors to exciting and high-paying careers in business, government, teaching and research.

Students majoring in mathematics at St. Mary's University are exposed to the theoretical foundations ofmathematics and experience its applications in a variety of disciplines. Innovative teaching and learningenvironments allow students to develop critical thinking and general problem solving strategies. Inaddition, our mathematics graduates understand the power and usefulness of computers equipped withgraphing and symbolic algebra.

About St. Mary’s University

Mission Statement

St. Mary’s University, as a Catholic Marianist University, fosters the formation of people in

faith and educates leaders for the common good through community, integrated liberal

arts and professional education, and academic excellence.

Our mission statement is a reflection of the Characteristics of Marianist Universities. There are

five elements that characterize the Marianist approach to education: educate for formation in

faith, provide an integral quality education, educate in the family spirit, educate for service,

justice and peace, and educate for adaptation and change. The three Marianist universities have

published a book called Characteristics of Marianist Universities to fully describe the Marianist

approach to education at the university level.

Who We Are

St. Mary’s University, founded in 1852 by Marianist brothers and priests, is the first institution

of higher learning in San Antonio and the oldest Catholic university in Texas and the Southwest.

Personal attention and powerful academic programs have made St. Mary’s a nationally

recognized liberal arts institution. With a diverse student population of about 4,000 of all faiths

and backgrounds, St. Mary’s is home to five schools: Humanities and Social Sciences, Bill

Greehey School of Business, Science, Engineering and Technology, Graduate, and the School

of Law.

The University provides a Catholic education experience that evokes academic excellence while

integrating liberal studies, professional preparation and ethical commitment. St. Mary’s full-time

faculty members, 94 percent of whom hold doctoral or terminal degrees in their fields, are

committed to student success in and out of the classroom. St. Mary’s offers 75 programs,

including including two doctoral and two law programs. The student/faculty ratio of 11-to-1

permits small classes and promotes active learning.

The Marianists who came to San Antonio in 1852 responded to the call of their superiors to

establish an educational institution to regenerate the people of the city. Through their work and

the work of those who followed them, St. Mary’s University has maintained its reputation as “a

noble institution destined to be a great education center of the Southwest.”

Academic Accreditation

Accreditation is a status awarded to an educational institution or a program that has been found

to meet or exceed stated standards of excellence and quality in educational practices. St. Mary’s

University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on

Colleges to award B.A., B.B.A., B.S., L.L.M., M.A., M.B.A., M.P.A., M.S., J.D., and Ph.D.

Admission

The St. Mary's University community is a place where student learning thrives and a culture where

serving others is celebrated. Students possessing the aptitude and motivation to succeed at St. Mary's

are encouraged to apply for admission. Applicants must demonstrate a level of scholastic achievement

that would indicate ability to succeed in an academic program at St. Mary's University. Balanced

consideration is given to all aspects of an applicant's high school performance, including selection of

college-preparatory courses, grade point average and grade pattern throughout high school, class rank,

standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), and record of leadership and service. The admission committee

evaluates transfer applicants based on all academic work attempted at the college or university level.

Holistic review processes are designed to identify students who will flourish at St. Mary's University.

Financial Planning

Business Office

The Business Office serves the University community as a whole. Students are the largest

segment of our valued clientele, and this section is for providing important information

pertaining to student financial transactions.

The Business Office is the center for all student financial transactions during a student's

enrollment at St. Mary's University. Our office assist with billing, collection of tuition/fees

payments, financial arrangements, and also process refunds checks.

Tuition & Fees

Payment Policy

Financial Aid

St. Mary's University desires to assist all qualified students who seek financial assistance in order

to continue their education. Thus the University has established a complete student aid program

which includes scholarships, grants, loans, tuition reductions and part-time employment. The

allocation of financial assistance is usually related to the student's need. Financial need is the

difference between the expense of attending college and the financial resources available to the

student and the student's family to meet expenses. It is the basic policy of most colleges to expect

that the student's family will make a reasonable effort to assist with the student's college

expenses from the family's resources.

The student is also expected to make a contribution from savings and employment. To assure the

most equitable distribution of financial assistance, the University uses the financial need analysis

information provided by the students and their families on the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid (i.e. FAFSA) form. The expected family contribution to the educational expense is

determined by considering the family's resources and factors influencing the use of these re

sources -- number of dependents, number in college, retirement needs, assets, investments, and

other special problems which deserve consideration. Financial assistance from the University

must be viewed as supplemental to all other resources (parent's and/or student's expected

contribution, percentage of student's savings, student's summer earnings, etc.) available to meet

the expenses of attending the University.

For additional information on Financial Assistance, click here to access the Office of Financial

Assistance website.

Academic Policies and Procedures

As an institution of higher learning, St. Mary's University is society's center for ideas and the procedures

necessary to implement knowledge. Competent performance and an ordered social structure are

objectives no other institution can fulfill. This is a profound trust and therefore the University has the

obligation to refine concepts of personal and social responsibility. It has the right to expect mature

attitudes of self-discipline and the dignified behavior of the scholar.

Student Responsibility

Students are ultimately responsible for keeping informed about and observing all disciplinary and

academic regulations and decisions that may affect their status at St. Mary's University. In this obligation

they are assisted especially through this academic catalog, the bulletin boards, and e-mail. They should

acquaint themselves, therefore, with the contents of the catalog and read the notices on University,

School, and Departmental bulletin boards, where announcements may appear concerning changes in

schedule, revision of rules and regulations, and calls for students to appear at administrative offices.

Promulgations appearing on bulletin boards become binding within 24 hours after being posted. Notices

to appear in particular offices are sometimes transmitted via the student's Instructor. All currently

enrolled students are issued a St. Mary's University e-mail account. Students are expected to check their

issued e-mail account regularly. The St. Mary's University e-mail account is the primary source of the

University communicating with the student concerning important announcements and special activities.

There are, for example, changes to registration, add/drop process, class cancellations, priority

registration, transcripts ordered and processed, if a 'hold' exists, Career Services Center recruiting

information, University Ministry events, sporting events, graduation information, and much more. This

service is free and available to all currently enrolled students. Students are required to use it.

Students must register for courses the semester during which they will actually attend those courses;

otherwise, course credit will not be granted. Students may not begin formal course work (including

internships, service learning, or field placement hours) before the semester for which they have

registered for the course. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved in advance and in writing by

the student's respective Academic Dean.

Class Attendance

Class attendance is related to academic success, and class participation contributes to the synergism of

the educational process. Undergraduate students are expected to attend all classes, including

laboratories, practica, and events associated with the course or program.

The Professor keeps the roll, may record a zero for any work missed due to an unexcused absence, and

may drop a student for missing an equivalent of two weeks of classes. One absence in a laboratory will

be the equivalent of two 50-minute absences or one 75-minute absence. "Two weeks" are computed as

follows:

Fall and Spring Semesters:

Six unexcused absences in a 50-minute class period Four unexcused absences in a 75-minute class period Two evening classes which are 165 minutes per meeting

Summer Sessions:

Four day-class meetings Two evening-class meetings

Three tardies constitute one absence

Absences incurred during late registration (first week of classes) are considered excused. Absences for

reasons other than University-sanctioned events (which must be approved by Deans or the Academic

Vice President) will be determined to be "excused" or "not excused" by the Professor. An excessive

number of absences, even if they are excused, can severely compromise the quality of the students'

learning experience. Therefore, if the Professor judges that the student has missed excessive material

due to absences (excused, unexcused or a combination of the two), that Professor may initiate action

for withdrawal of the student from the class. The Professor shall notify a student one class prior to

initiating action for a student's withdrawal. The student will be charged the regular $10 add/drop fee.

Grades assigned for withdrawals initiated by the Professor or by the student are "W" (Withdrawal) or

"WF" (Withdrawal with Failure). The grades "W" or "WF" will be assigned according to the dates

published in the Academic Calendar. The grade "WF" is calculated in a student's grade point average as

an "F."

It is the responsibility of the student to contact the Professor before an absence, if possible, or, in the

case of an emergency, as soon after the absence as possible. It is also the responsibility of the student to

make up any missed work to the satisfaction of the Professor on the basis of guidelines stated in that

Professor's course syllabus.

Appeals from decisions made concerning this attendance policy may be brought to the attention of the

departmental Chairperson. If the results of an appeal are not satisfactory at the chair person level, an

appeal may be brought to the attention of the course respective Academic Dean.

Academic Honesty

Based upon its philosophy of education, St. Mary's University is strongly committed to academic

excellence, truth, honesty, and personal integrity. The university expects all students to agree to the

following:

The St. Mary's University Honor Code

As a member of the St. Mary's University Community, I promise not to participate in academic

dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, or other academic misconduct which deliberately

infringes upon University policy. I will not tolerate these activities from my fellow classmates.

Academic dishonesty is outlined in the Student Handbook. Students of the St. Mary's University

community who will fully choose to violate the Honor Code understand that the Dean of the appropriate

School will adjudicate infractions according to Article V: Judicial Charges and Hearings of the Code of

Student Conduct. If the student is deemed guilty, the consequences could include removal from St.

Mary's University.

Sanctions for a student's academic dishonesty vary according to the nature and the seriousness of the

offense. Teachers may require a student to redo a class/laboratory assignment; may record an F

(Failure) for a particular test, examination, or class/laboratory assignment which involved dishonesty; or

may record an F (Failure) for a final course grade. Any student appeal of a teacher imposed sanction

must be made in writing to the student's Dean within fourteen (14) days. Teachers inform their

Department Chairperson in writing, with a copy to their Dean, concerning any sanctions imposed upon

students for academic dishonesty. A written statement of official policies, procedures, and processes

related to academic dishonesty is available in any Dean's office.

Study Week (No Examination Week)

During the week preceding the official examinations terminating the Fall and Spring semesters, classes

meet, but no major tests should be given. All major reports and assignments should be scheduled to be

completed before this week.

Final Examinations

Departure from the published final examination schedule can be authorized only by the Dean of the

School for the courses. All final examinations must be administered during the final exam week only.

The only exception to this policy is for graduating students. Graduating students (Fall and Spring

semesters) are not required to take final exams during the regularly scheduled final exam periods.

Instead, graduating students must have all requirements complete the week prior to final exams. Faculty

may wish to assign a final paper, project, take-home exam, or specially scheduled exam for graduating

students only during the last week of regularly scheduled classes.

Unit of Instruction (Semester Hour)

The unit of instruction is the semester hour, which is the credit given for one hour a week for one

semester. Most courses offered at St. Mary's meet three hours a week, and therefore have a value of

three semester hours.

Student Load

The normal course load for fulltime undergraduate students is from twelve to eighteen hours per Fall

and Spring semesters, varying with the student's curriculum and scholarship record. To take more than

18 hours, the student must have written permission from the Dean of his or her School.

For part-time students who have full-time employment, the maximum load is two courses with total

credit of six semester hours. To carry more, the part-time student must secure written permission from

the Dean of his or her School.

The maximum course load for Summer sessions is two courses each session; therefore, the maximum

for two (six weeks) Summer sessions is four courses and not more than fourteen semester hours.

Courses taken in excess of these maxima must have written permission of the Dean.

Repeated Courses

At times, students may want to repeat a course in order to earn a better grade, improving their GPA. It is

possible to do this, but under very specific conditions:

the original course must have been taken at St. Mary's University; the repeat course must be taken at St. Mary's University; the repeat course must be exactly the same course number and title as the original course. In

the case of Topics Courses, the topic must be the same.

The administrative system will automatically flag repeat courses only if they are courses that can

legitimately be repeated for credit. On the student's academic record, a course that is repeated will have

an "E" (Excluded) next to the course. The repeated course that replaces it will have an "I" (Included) next

to the course. From this semester forward, the Cumulative GPA reflects only the repeated course with

the higher grade. In effect, the earlier course remains on the transcript but is no longer included in the

cumulative GPA. The change does not affect the academic status (Probation or Suspension) of the

original semester.

Transfer Credits

Credit earned by correspondence or by enrollment at another college or university while a student is

enrolled for residence work at this institution will not be counted toward a degree unless explicitly

approved in advance. This policy applies to Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions.

Note regarding transfer course: Philosophy, Theology, Mathematics, Advanced Psychology, SMC 1301,

1311, 1314, 2301, 2302 and 4301 courses cannot be transferred after a student has matriculated at St.

Mary's University.

Change of Courses

During the first week of Fall and Spring semesters, changes to course schedules can be processed online

via Gateway without incurring any charges. After the first week of classes, signatures of approval from

the Instructor, Academic Adviser, and Dean are required on an Add/Drop form, in order to add a course.

There is a charge for each add or drop initiated by the student after the late registration period.

Change of Major

A student wishing to change from one major to another must fill out a Change of Major form in the

Registrar's Office. The change is not official until the form has been properly completed and filed with

the Registrar's Office.

Dropping of Courses

After the first week of class, to drop a course the student must have the Adviser's signature on an

Add/Drop form. During the first half of a Fall or Spring semester, the student may with draw from a

course with the grade of W. Thereafter, through the twelfth week, if the student is passing at the time of

withdrawal from a course, the grade will be W; if not passing, the grade will be WF.

Courses dropped without notifying the Registrar, and courses from which the student has been dropped

by the Instructor for excessive absences, are recorded W or WF, as determined by the Instructor. During

the last four weeks of a full semester, courses may not be dropped by a student. Notice to an Instructor

of dropping a course does not cancel registration or financial obligations.

Withdrawal from All Courses

It is the responsibility of all students withdrawing from all courses to inform the Office of the Registrar.

Withdrawal from all courses should be effected for a serious reason only. According to time limits

stipulated in the Academic Calendar, the student may be entitled to some refund at the time of

withdrawal. Withdrawal without proper notice to the Registrar, however, entails failure in all courses for

the semester and liability for full payment.

As with the dropping of courses, notice to Instructors of withdrawal does not cancel registration nor

financial obligations.

Military Personnel and Reservists

If a student in inactive or reserve military services is required by the military to withdraw from the

University due to a military crisis, he or she will be entitled to a full tuition refund. If such a withdrawal is

necessary, no academic penalty will be incurred. Students who are using student loans, however, will

have to abide by the appropriate regulations. With the approval of the class Instructor, an extension of

time may be allowed for completion of courses which are interrupted. Support documentation must be

submitted.

Independent Studies

Independent academic study projects are available to students who have reached at least Junior status,

hold a 3.0 GPA, have obtained the approval of their major Adviser, the Chairperson of their department

and the Dean of the school in which the course is taken, and have arranged the delineation of a syllabus

with a Professor who knows them and is willing to work on the project.

Review or Deficiency Courses

Review or deficiency courses, in general, are taken by conditionally admitted students to meet

admission deficiencies or to better prepare themselves for elementary courses. The courses are

measured on a semester-hour basis, but the semester hours from these courses do not apply to

University or departmental degree requirements. The first digit of these courses is 0.

Student Education Records

The Office of the Registrar maintains education records for all currently enrolled and former students.

Student education records are governed by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy

Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended.

Directory Information and Student Confidentiality

St. Mary's University will not disclose any personally identifiable information about students (except

directory information listed below) without the written consent of the student. Directory information is

that which is regularly made public such as student directory, athletic printed programs, requests made

by potential employers, etc. St. Mary's University designates the following student information as

directory information:

1. Name, address, telephone number, e-mail address 2. Major field 3. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports 4. Weight and height of members of athletic teams

5. Dates of attendance 6. Degrees, honors, and awards received 7. The most recent educational agency or institution attended

Each student has the right to restrict the release of this information by submitting the appropriate form

to the Registrar's Office. This request will remain in effect while the student is enrolled or unless student

rescinds the request. School officials with legitimate educational interests may have access to

educational records, without the students' consent if the record is needed in order to fulfill his or her

professional responsibilities. School officials are identified as a person employed by the University in an

administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with

whom the University has contracted; a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on

an official committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

Academic Standing

Classification of students:

A freshman is a student who has been admitted upon the satisfactory fulfillment of entrance

requirements. A students is also considered a freshmen who has completed less than 30 hours.

A sophomore is one who has completed the prescribed program for the freshman year and has no fewer

than thirty semester hours of credit.

A junior is one who has completed no fewer than sixty semester hours of credit.

A senior is one who has completed no fewer than ninety semester hours of credit.

A post-baccalaureate student is one who has already earned a degree, but is pursuing further

undergraduate work for personal enrichment or for certification.

A graduate student is one who has been formally admitted into the Graduate School and is pursuing

studies in the Graduate School.

A visitor (transient) is one who is still either in actual or technical residence at another school, but has

received permission from a Dean to take courses at St. Mary's with the intention of transferring them to

his or her own school. A visitor's status is limited to one semester.

A student may register to audit a class at St. Mary's University with permission of his Adviser and the

course Instructor during the first week of school in the Fall or Spring semesters and during the first two

days of instruction in the Summer sessions. An auditor is required to attend lectures and benefits from

all regular services of the course Instructor, but does not receive a final grade or course credit. Upon

completion of an audit course, the student receives a grade of AU (Audit). This does not affect grade

point average. A student who officially drops an audit class receives a grade of "W." If the student stops

attending class, the Instructor may drop the student with an NC (No Credit).

Grades and Scholarship

Grades reflect student performance and achievement in academic courses. Faculty members are

responsible for assessing student performance and assigning grades according to the following grade

designations: "A," excellent/outstanding; "B," above average; "C," average or satisfactory; "D,"

minimally passing; "F," failure; "I," incomplete.

These letter grades correspond to the following quality points (grade points) and numerical ranges:

A (4.00 quality points) = 95 to 100

A - (3.67 quality points) = 90 to 94

B+ (3.33 quality points) = 87 to 89

B (3.00 quality points) = 84 to 86

B - (2.67 quality points) = 80 to 83

C+ (2.33 quality points) = 77 to 79

C (2.00 quality points) = 70 to 76

D (1.00 quality points) = 60 to 69

F (0.00 quality points) = be low 60

Other grades:

I (Incomplete) grade indicates satisfactory performance in the course but failure to do a portion of the

work assigned. The deficiency must be remedied as prescribed by the Instructor within 30 days of the

date of issuing reports. The Instructor then assigns a grade or it becomes a permanent F. An Incomplete

grade received by a student in his or her graduating semester must be made up three weeks prior to the

date of graduation; otherwise, graduation will be delayed until the next official graduation date. IP is

given only for those courses which by their nature require more than a semester to complete (e.g., some

senior projects and internships).

P and NP are marked for courses taken for "Pass/No Pass" credit. P indicates "pass" and is equivalent to

course grade C or better. NP indicates "failure to pass," with the student not entitled to credit for the

course or for the hours which had been assigned to it. "Pass/No Pass" (P/NP) and Audit arrangements

must be made at the time of registration, and are non-changeable after the first week of class. The P/NP

option is mandatory for internships and practice teaching, and for Applied Music and Ensembles (except

for Music majors and minors). Other Business courses, Core Curriculum courses, and major and minor

courses may NOT be taken P/NP. The P/NP option may be used for electives and is not to exceed 12

hours.

W grade signifies official withdrawal from class; WF withdrawal with failure; WX, withdrawal in the last

month by special permission of the Dean of the School.

F grade indicates failure; when this grade has been received, credit can be obtained only by repeating

the course at St. Mary's.

NC grade signifies No Credit; registration administratively canceled.

IS indicates that the course is In Session.

The grade the Instructor submits is based on class work, tests, and final examination, combined in such

proportion as the Instructor in charge of the course in question may decide. Class standing in the course,

moreover, is determined by the regularity of the student's attendance at lectures (and laboratory or

other similar exercises), by recitation grades, written assignments, laboratory work, etc.

Grades of F and WF are both equal to 0 quality points and do affect the Grade Point Average.

Grades of I, IP, IS, NC, P, NP, NR, W and WX have no quality points associated with them and, hence, are

not included in the computation of the Grade Point Average.

How to Compute Your Grade-Point-Average (GPA)

I. Assign a quality point to each grade:

Grade Quality Points

A = 4.00

A- = 3.67

B+ = 3.33

B = 3.00, etc.

II. Remaining quality points may be viewed above.

III. Multiply: Quality Points X Number of Semester Hours earned in the course. The second digit of each course number indicates the number of semester hours the course carries: e.g., in EN 1311, second digit is a 3, therefore course is a three-semester hour course.

IV. Add and Divide: The total number of quality points divided by the total number of semester hours earned.

Course Credit Hours Grade Quality Points Calculation Total Quality Points

EN1311 3 B- 2.67 3 x 2.67 8.01

SMC1301 3 A 4.00 3 x 4.00 12.00

AR1301 3 B 3.00 3 x 3.00 9.00

SE1341 3 A- 3.67 3 x 3.67 11.01

BL1401 4 B+ 3.33 4 x 3.33 13.32

16

53.34

V. (Total # of Quality Points/Total # of Semester Hours) = GPA 53.34/16 = 3.33 GPA

Grade Points Required for Graduation

A candidate for graduation must present, in addition to the required credit hours, at least a two-point

average (2.0) over all courses offered to fulfill graduation requirements in his or her major and minor

subjects, and in the total of the remaining courses. He or she must also present a "C" average on the

courses taken at St. Mary's and applied to graduation in the major subject, and the total of the

remaining courses taken at St. Mary's.

Grade Reports

Mid-semester grades and final semester grades are available on Gateway or in the office of the Registrar

upon request.

Quality of Work

The University Faculty wishes to impress on all students the importance of aiming for high quality of

work rather than merely minimum requirements. To encourage efforts toward this ideal, there is in

operation a system of points and honors as outlined below.

Academic Standing and Progression Policy (Academic Probation

and Suspension)

Effective spring 2013, the University has approved a new Academic Standing and Progression

Policy for undergraduate students. This new policy begins with the spring 2013 semester

academic performance.

Academic Status:

The minimum requirements to remain in academic Good Standing will be:

Semester GPA Cumulative GPA Semester Completion Ratio

1.80 2.00 67%

To remain in Good Standing, a student must meet all of the requirements noted above at the end

of each semester.

If a student does not meet all three of the requirements, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. Academic Probation will occur only one time.**

If a student meets all requirements during a probationary semester, the student will return to Academic Good Standing.

If a student meets 1 or 2 of the requirements during a probationary semester, the student will be placed on Academic Continued Probation.

If a student does not meet any of the requirements during a probationary semester, the student will be placed on Academic Suspension.

To illustrate how this new policy will affect students beginning in the spring of 2013, please

review the table below.

If your academic standing

during this current term is:

And you meet the following

requirements at the end of

current term:

Your new academic standing for

the following semester will be

Good Standing All 3 requirements Good standing

Good Standing 0, 1 or 2 of the requirements Academic Probation**

Academic Probation All 3 requirements Removed Probation (Good Standing)

Academic Probation 1 or 2 of the requirements Academic Continued Probation

Academic Probation None of the requirements Academic Suspension

Academic Continued Probation All 3 requirements Removed Probation (Good Standing)

Academic Continued Probation 0, 1 or 2 of the requirements Academic Suspension

Readmitted on Probation All 3 requirements*** Removed Probation (Good Standing)

Readmitted on Probation 0, 1 or 2 of the requirements*** Academic Suspension

* Completion ration refers to the percentage of attempted hours actually completed/passed.

** Academic Probation occurs only one time. If a student returns to Good Standing and does not meet the

requirements at a later time, the student will be placed on Academic Continued Probation.

*** Students readmitted on probation may be required to fulfill additional conditions that are placed by their

Academic Dean at the time of readmission. Requirements may include, but are not limited to, higher semester GPA,

restriction on hours enrolled, and required follow up with campus resources. Readmission letters will outline

specific readmission requirements.

Academic Suspension:

The first Academic Suspension is for a period of one long semester (fall or spring). Extenuating

circumstances may be presented to the appropriate academic Dean for review.

A second Academic Suspension is for a period of at least 12 months.

Removal of probation after a suspension is governed by the readmission conditions.

GPA and Completion Ratio:

The GPA for a semester includes all courses taken for credit. Therefore, in addition to courses

passed with a grade of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, or D, the GPA includes those with F and WF.

Not included are zero-hour course, "pass/no-pass" course, those taken as an Auditor, and courses

with grades of W, WX, NC, I, IP, IS, or CR. All courses attempted, however, are figured into the

semester completion ratio.

The above policy does not govern eligibility for financial assistance. Please contact the Office of

Financial Assistance for eligibility requirements.

Academic Plan Requirement:

Students who are placed on academic probation will be required to complete a written academic

plan and a written financial aid appeal (if receiving financial assistance) in order to meet their

probationary terms. Guidelines on how to complete the above requirements will be outlined in

each student's probationary letter.

Minimum Academic Standards for Students Receiving VA

Educational

Benefits (Four-Year Programs)

Note: The criteria listed below do not necessarily agree with the academic averages required by St.

Mary's University. All students must meet the requirements of the University. The paragraphs below are

the V.A. guidelines to determine satisfactory progress.

Satisfactory Progress

Students who are receiving VA educational benefits must make satisfactory progress toward the

completion of their approved degree plan; otherwise, they risk the possibility of the suspension of their

benefits. VA students must maintain satisfactory academic progress according to the policies that apply

to all St. Mary's University students.

Probation

A student who is receiving VA educational benefits and who fails to achieve the required GPAs based on

the hours attempted shall be placed on probation. The policies for probation that apply to all St. Mary's

University students will apply to VA students.

Unsatisfactory Progress

A student who fails to maintain the prescribed standards of progress shall be reported to the VA

Regional Office as making unsatisfactory progress and thereby risk benefit payments' being

discontinued. The policies for unsatisfactory progress that apply to all St. Mary's University students will

apply to VA students.

Satisfactory Conduct & Attendance

In order to receive VA educational benefits, VA students must maintain satisfactory conduct and must

maintain satisfactory attendance. Satisfactory conduct and satisfactory attendance are the regularly

prescribed standards and practices that apply to all St. Mary's University students.

Athletic Eligibility

The student athlete must maintain the same academic standing as other students at St. Mary's

University. If a student athlete earns a grade-point average below a 1.70, he or she will be on probation

during the next semester at St. Mary's University. If the student earns a 2.00 grade point average in the

following semester, he or she will be taken off probation. If the student earns between a 1.70 and 1.99,

he or she will remain on academic probation, but will retain athletic eligibility. If the student does not

earn a 1.70, he or she will be placed on suspension, making the student ineligible to compete as a

student athlete. Furthermore, the student athlete must meet the "satisfactory completion" provision of

the NCAA requirement by maintaining a grade point average that places that individual in good

academic standing, as established by the institution for all students who are at an equivalent stage of

progress toward a degree. To fulfill the "satisfactory progress" provision of this requirement, a student

athlete [who enters a Division II institution after the 1998-1999 academic year] must achieve the

following cumulative minimum grade point average at the beginning of the Fall term or at the beginning

of any other regular term of the academic year, based on:

A. the completion of 24 semester hours: 1.800 B. the completion of 48 semester hours: 1.900 C. the completion of 72 semester hours: 2.000 D. the completion of 96 semester hours: 2.000

Readmission

All former students who have been away from St. Mary's for one Fall or Spring semester, or more, must

file a formal application for readmission. If a student, during his or her absence from St. Mary's has

attended any other institution, he or she must submit an official transcript reflecting such attendance;

regulations governing transfer students shall apply. A student who leaves St. Mary's on scholastic

probation or suspension will be readmitted on scholastic probation even if he or she has attended

another institution during the period of absence. A student on probation at another school will be

placed on probation at St. Mary's.

Dean's List

To earn the honor of being on the traditional Dean's List at St. Mary's, different criteria apply to

different schools of the University.

In the undergraduate schools, the Dean's List for the Fall and Spring semesters contains three

categories: Highest Honors (3.90 to 4.00 GPA), High Honors (3.80 to 3.89 GPA), Honors (3.60 to 3.79

GPA). Only full-time students are eligible for the Dean's List.

Graduate School students who rank in the top ten percent, have accumulated eight hours of graduate

study with a minimum semester cumulative GPA of 3.75, and were enrolled in at least six hours are

selected for the Dean's List.

In the School of Law, a full-time student whose semester academic average is in the top ten percent of

the entire student body of the School of Law, is eligible for the Dean's Honor List.

Graduation Honors

To be eligible for graduation honors, a student seeking a baccalaureate degree must enroll in and

complete a minimum of 45 undergraduate semester hours at St. Mary's University, not counting

Pass/No Pass or credit by exam courses, preceding graduation. The grade point average (GPA) of all

college hours attempted, excluding transfer hours, must equal that required here for the appropriate

category of honors.

Honors are not conferred on combination degrees or on second degrees.

Summa Cum Laude 3.90–4.00

Magna Cum Laude 3.80–3.89

Cum Laude 3.60–3.79

To be named a Distinguished Graduate, Graduate Students must meet all of the following

requirements:

1. Students who have not received a grade of U or a grade below B, even if they have repeated the course with a grade of S, B, or A;

2. Students who graduate with a cumulative GPA of 3.90 or higher. If no graduating students in a program achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.90 or higher, then the graduate with the highest GPA in that program may be designated the Distinguished Graduate.

3. Students who receive a favor able recommendation from their Graduate Program Director.

Undergraduate Graduation Check List

1. When registering with your Adviser, take this opportunity to check the progress toward your degree and proposed graduation date. Check Gateway (student web access) to be sure the graduation date and other information listed is correct. It is your responsibility to know the required courses for your degree, number of hours you have completed, and your proposed graduation date, and to ascertain that you are registering for the proper courses. If you are not sure, ask your Adviser. If you still have questions, ask the Chairperson in your major department. You may also verify degree requirements in the Registrar's Office. Degree Plan outlines are obtainable from your Adviser or the Registrar's Office. Make sure you follow the proper degree outline. For school and degree requirements, be sure to check the catalog of the year you entered St. Mary's University.

2. If you change your major, fill out the proper Change of Major Form in the Registrar's Office. A new Adviser will be assigned to you. Familiarize yourself with your new degree plan. Be sure to follow the catalog degree requirements for the year you change major.

3. Graduation Semester: When you register for your final semester, fill out an Application for Degree card. These are available through your Adviser or in the Registrar's Office. The Application for Degree card will be used to conduct a final degree audit to ascertain that all degree requirements have been fulfilled. Please make sure you have fulfilled the following:

Complete the total hours required for the degree, including CORE, major, and minor (if

applicable). Most Bachelor of Arts degrees require 120 hours, whereas Bachelor of Science

degrees require more.

Meet the residence requirement of 45 hours.

Achieve at least a 2.00 GPA in major, minor, and other St. Mary's University courses. Achieve the

specific GPA of your Department, if different; for example, Psychology, Engineering, and

Complete at least six advanced hours of Writing Intensive courses in your major.

Complete ND 0101.

Commencement Participation Policy

St. Mary's University offers a Fall and a Spring commencement. Students completing degree

requirements and meeting all graduation checklist obligations in the Summer One, Summer Two, or Fall

semesters are invited to participate in the Fall Commencement. Students completing degree

requirements in the Spring semester are invited to participate in the Spring commencement.

If a student is unable to attend the appropriate commencement due to a medical reason or to

participation in a St. Mary's University-sponsored activity, a request to participate in the immediate

subsequent ceremony may be granted. The following items must be adhered to:

a. Students wishing to attend a subsequent commencement ceremony due to a health-related reason or to participation in a St. Mary's University-sponsored activity must provide proper documentation to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

b. If approved, students are eligible to participate only in the immediately subsequent commencement ceremony.

c. The desire to participate in the immediate subsequent commencement must be communicated to the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days in advance of the ceremony.

d. Students will be listed in the Graduation Program appropriate to the semester in which degree requirements are completed.

e. Names of those attending subsequent ceremonies will be read on stage, but will not appear on the printed Graduation Program for that graduation.

Junior College Transfers

The maximum credit transferrable from a junior college, or any combination of junior colleges, is 66

semester hours. A student who has attained junior standing—that is one who has completed 60 or more

semester hours—may return to a junior college for an additional six (or eight) semester hours, with the

appropriate Dean's prior approval (provided the total hours transferred from junior colleges do not

exceed 66).

Information Change

All information changes must be made in writing to the Registrar's Office either in person, by mail, by e-

mail, or by fax along with the student's signature requesting this change. Information changes cannot be

accepted by telephone.

Address Change

Students are required to report both their local and permanent addresses and phone numbers to the

Registrar's Office at the time of registration and to report any changes afterwards. The University

maintains several addresses for each student:

Permanent Address:

The address at which you reside when the University is not in session.

Local Address:

The address at which you reside when the University is in session.

Billing Address:

The address to which bills should be sent. Unless otherwise specified, this will be either the local

address, if bills are mailed while classes are in session, or the permanent address, if the bills are being

mailed during a period most students are not attending classes. Billing address changes must be

requested in the Business Office in StLH Room 24.

Name Change

To change a legal name to a new legal name, the student must fill out an Information Change form in

the Registrar's Office and submit it with a copy of the signed court order showing the authorized new

legal name. To change a last name after marriage, the student fills out an Information Change form and

presents a copy of the marriage certificate. A female student who wishes to discontinue the use of her

married name in order to resume the use of her maiden name or a different name must present a

divorce decree or signed court order showing court restoration of the maiden or acceptance of another

name. The previous name appears on the transcript header.

Social Security Change

To register a Social Security number, mail or bring a copy of your Social Security card to the Registrar's

Office so that we may update your records.

Change of Major/Minor

1. Obtain the proper Change of Major/Minor Form in the Registrar's Office, StLH Room 105. 2. Complete the form in full and obtain the requested signatures. 3. Return the completed form to the Associate Registrar in StLH Room 105. A Degree Audit will be

prepared. Please note that the change is not official until the form is submitted.

Transcripts

Students enrolled at another college must forward an official transcript; Service personnel with Military

and DANTES credit must forward evidence of their record to the Director of Admissions.

Students already enrolled at St. Mary's must furnish an official transcript of record for courses taken by

extension and/or correspondence from a college or university offering non-resident courses. Enrolled

students, moreover, must furnish a transcript for courses authorized to be taken at another college. No

credit will be granted by St. Mary's unless the enrolled student has had permission in advance to pursue

such extension, correspondence, or "visitor" courses.

Individuals may obtain an official transcript of their work completed at St. Mary's University provided

they have satisfactorily met all university obligations. Transcripts are normally issued within one working

day except during busy periods—registration and graduation.

Requests must be in writing. Written requests are accepted on forms available in the Registrar's Office

or by letter. Telephone requests are not accepted. The request should include name, social security

number, approximate dates of attendance, graduation date, etc. Accompanying each request must be a

three-dollar ($3.00) fee per transcript. St. Mary's University does not provide copies of transcripts of

work done at other institutions.

Freshman Requirement

All incoming freshmen, including transfer students with fewer than twenty semester hours of actual

(i.e., not high school Advanced Placement courses) university credits, must take ND 0101 in their first

Fall or Spring semester at St. Mary's University.

Time Limitation

The provisions of the catalog for the year during which a student first enrolls at the University will apply

until his/her graduation, provided graduation occurs not more than seven years after enrollment. The

degree program of the student who changes his/her major shall be governed by the degree

requirements in effect at the time the change of major becomes effective.

Semester Hour

The word "hour" in this publication designates a "semester hour" of credit, which is earned by attending

class one hour a week for 15 weeks. A candidate for a degree must have no fewer than 120+ semester

hours of credit, chosen in accordance with the requirements of the University.

Major

A major covers four years of work in one subject, and is sometimes referred to as the major

concentration in the student's degree program. This concentration, unless otherwise specified, includes

the courses which are prescribed for the particular subject of the major, plus six additional courses of

three or four semester hours each in the same subject, for a total of 24 or more hours. Of this total,

twelve semester hours must be in advanced courses — in courses numbered 3000 and up. Six hours of

writing-intensive course work at the advanced level is required for all majors. Three hours should be

taken in the junior year, and three hours in the senior year.

Minor

A minor or minor concentration usually covers three years of work, usually 18 semester hours, in a

subject related to the major. It includes the courses prescribed in the general education part of the

degree, plus further courses. At least 6 hours must be advanced-level work and in residence.

Teaching Field

A teaching field consists of at least 24 semester hours (12 must be advanced) in a state-approved

program of studies in a designated subject for students who are seeking secondary teacher certification.

Electives

Courses not taken as prescribed courses and not included in the student's major and minor sequences

may be chosen, within restrictions given below, as free electives to complete hours required for

graduation.

Advanced Work

Of the total degree required hours (i.e. 120 hours for most degrees), at least thirty must be in advanced

work, that is, selected from courses numbered 3000 and up. Of these advanced hours, at least twelve

must be in the major and six in the minor.

Residence

One is recommended for a degree only on the following conditions: at least forty-five (45) semester

hours of resident study at St. Mary's, twelve of which must be advanced in the major subject, and

satisfactory fulfillment of all specific requirements for a degree. Of the last thirty hours offered for the

degree, 24 should be taken at St. Mary's University.

Application for a Degree

Formal application for the degree must be filed when registering for the final semester.

Second Bachelor Degree

To obtain a second bachelor degree the candidate shall:

1. have completed all the requirements for the first degree; 2. apply for a different degree; 3. complete a different major from that used for the first degree; 4. complete thirty hours not used for the first degree, at least twelve of which are advanced.

(A proportionately larger total will be required when the second degree is one that normally takes more than 120 hours.)

5. fulfill 45 hour residency requirement at St. Mary's University.

Course Numbering

Courses are identified by department and number. Four-digit numbers are used, but only the first two

digits are significant to the student:

The first digit of a course number designates the scholastic level. All courses with a first digit of zero are either review or deficiency courses and carry no semester hour value. All courses with a

first digit of 1 are at the freshmen level, those with a first digit of 2 are at the sophomore level, and all courses with a first digit of 3, 4, or 5 are advanced-level (junior or senior) courses.

The second digit designates the semester hour credit of the course. The third and fourth digits designate the departmental sequence of each course.

Thus, EN 1311 is a freshman-level course of three semester-hour value.

Texas Common Course Numbering

St. Mary's University participates in a statewide common course numbering system designed to

facilitate the transfer of coursework among Texas institutions of higher education, both public and

private. The course prefix and number appearing in parentheses, ( ), after the course title designate the

common course number. Identical numbers are referenced in the catalogs of other participating Texas

institutions, and may be used to establish transfer equivalents for St. Mary's University courses.

Graduate Courses

In exceptional cases, an undergraduate student may be permitted to enroll in a graduate course for

undergraduate credit and for undergraduate tuition rates. Required for this exception is the prior

written permission of the Graduate Dean, the appropriate undergraduate Dean, the graduate

department chair person, and the instructor. The student must also secure from the Registrar an

undergraduate course number. Graduate courses taken for undergraduate credit may be used only for

undergraduate degrees. Such courses may not subsequently be used for graduate credit.

Degree Requirements: General

Degree Plans

Direction and assistance in arranging degree plans and schedules are available in the office of the

Registrar, in the counseling and departmental offices -- especially at times of registration -- and most

specifically in the undergraduate course listings. Students are responsible for availing themselves of

these aids to know requirements and thus avoid errors and omissions in their degree programs.

Academic Areas of Special Consideration

Critical Studies Program

The Critical Studies Program provides entering (non- conditional) freshmen whose performance on the

California Critical Thinking Skills Test (given at orientation) is below average the opportunity to enhance

their reasoning, reading, and writing skills. IS1300W is a required course for these freshmen. (See below)

Students may not drop the course without the authorization of the CSP Director. The goals of this

program are to help students improve their reasoning, reading, and writing skills, to critically evaluate

their education objectives in pursuing a college degree, and to investigate their roles and responsibilities

in the learning process.

IS1300W Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies is a 3-credit hour interdisciplinary* course that provides entering freshmen with

the opportunity to enhance and further develop essential critical intellectual skills in three areas:

reading, writing, and reasoning. The instructors for this course are faculty members who teach in majors

in each of the three undergraduate fields of study (see below). They draw upon the work students do in

other university classes and upon readings and assignments selected to complement this academic work

to improve students' abilities to read and understand college-level texts, to communicate effectively,

and to apply methods of reasoning to enhance understanding. The course fulfills three semester hours

of elective credit. Strict adherence to the university's attendance policy, including weekly participation

in small-group study sessions led by peer tutors, is necessary to complete this course. The course is

offered only in the fall semester and may not be repeated without special permission of the Critical

Studies Program Director.

*Interdisciplinary means that the learning materials include all general fields of study at a university, i.e.

sciences, humanities, social sciences.

Academic Enrichment Program (AEP)

Under the authority and supervision of the Learning Assistance Center, the Academic Enrichment

Program (AEP) is designed to meet the needs of conditionally admitted students who have some areas

of academic need. For conditionally admitted students, attendance in this program is required as part of

their admission acceptance.

Requirements: AEP Program students are required to take the Interdisciplinary Studies (IS 1300) and

Math Skills (MT 0401) courses, along with ND 0101 and two credit courses. If advised by the AEP

director, students may take up to a maximum of three-credit courses in addition to IS 1300, MT 0401

and ND 0101. Students performing below this standard by the end of the program are subject to

suspension from the spring semester by the AEP Evaluation Committee.

Two additional courses from the fall schedule are chosen to bring the total number of course hours to

thirteen including the ND0101 course.

International Education Programs

In consideration of the importance that international education plays to day in the personal and

professional development of students, and in partial fulfillment of its Mission to endow all students with

a global education, St. Mary's University encourages students to participate in any of the international

programs abroad available to them. Juniors, sophomores and selected second semester freshmen are

encouraged to participate in the fall semester in London, England, the spring semester in Madrid, Spain.

There is also a summer semester in Innsbruck, Austria. The fall semester in London and the spring

semester in Madrid are sponsored by the Academic Vice President's Office and course offerings are

determined by the disciplines of the faculty members selected as Field Director and Associate Field

Director. Faculty members can be from any discipline in the University. The summer semester in

Montpellier is a French language program and is also sponsored by the Academic Vice President's Office.

The Innsbruck program is sponsored by the Bill Greehey School of Business and its offerings are normally

related to the business curriculum, although students from across the university that can benefit from

participation may attend.

A St. Mary's student who earns academic credit from a university outside the United States will have

that credit transferred back to St. Mary's University provided a satisfactory grade was earned. The credit

earned will be posted to the student's St. Mary's University transcript as 'credit earned' and will be

applied to satisfactory degree progress. The grade earned by the student while attending the university

outside of the United States will only appear on the student's transcript of that university.

Writing Across the Curriculum

St. Mary's emphasis on academic excellence in all scholarly areas commits the university to an

integrated approach to teaching those skills essential to the acquisition of knowledge. Writing is a

necessary part of this learning process and a valuable communication skill. In addition to core

curriculum requirements, all departments at the university require participation in writing-intensive

courses in both the junior and senior years. A writing-intensive course meets the following criteria:

1. At least 50% of the course grade is based on written assignments; 2. Course requirements include one or more formal written assignments totaling at least 2500

words in which the professional quality of the work is an explicit factor in the final evaluation; 3. Opportunities to revise or rewrite -- activities crucial to the improvement of writing skills -- are

provided.

Courses and/or sections designated with a "Writing Intensive" attribute in the course schedule meet the

writing intensive criteria.

Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum

Recognizing the need for graduates to show proof of their abilities in foreign languages without being

either a Language or MOS major, St. Mary's has instituted a "Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum"

program. To be certified students who wish to participate in the program must have completed

sophomore level proficiency in the language targeted. By taking special additions to courses offered in

their majors, or other interests, students may earn credits towards "Advanced Foreign Language

Competency in (Language)" designation on their transcripts upon completing six units under this

program. Students may take courses offered entirely in the target language for three (3) or two (2) units.

They may also take LN courses of one (1) unit of credit which are attached as "trailers" to courses

conducted in English in virtually all the disciplines. Introduction to Computer Science, e. g., might have a

"trailer" attached to it entitled "LN 1133 Computer Science Terminology in Spanish" giving one unit of

Advanced Foreign Language Competency (as well as one semester hour of credit) for certification. The

Language Department administers the program and keeps a file on each participant. After a student has

completed six FLAC units, the Chair sends a form to the Dean of Humanities & Social Sciences, who

certifies the individual and in forms the Registrar of this fact.

Pre-Professional Curricula

In addition to the various degree programs offered by the Schools of the University, St. Mary's also

offers curricula that are pre-professional in scope and that are tailored for acceptance by professional

schools.

Pre-Engineering

In addition to the five four-year Engineering programs offered at St. Mary's, the University offers a two-

year pre-engineering program which incorporates the core curriculum of the Texas State Coordinating

Board. Successful completion of this program makes students eligible for acceptance by schools of

engineering to which they may apply. Requirements for the freshman and sophomore years are outlined

in the Engineering Department of the School of Science, Engineering and Technology.

Pre-Law

A completed bachelor's degree is required for entrance into the St. Mary's University School of Law as

candidate for the Juris Doctor degree. The pre-law student may choose his/her degree, whether from

the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the School of Science, Engineering and Technology or from

the Bill Greehey School of Business and may make his/her own choice of major and minors.

Health Sciences

The University, through its Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry, offers a variety of pre-

professional programs in the health sciences: pre- medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-optometry, pre-

pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-podiatry, pre-veterinary medicine, and medical terminology. Details

of these programs may be obtained Department of Biological Sciences n the catalog.

For some degree programs, it is possible for the student to complete three years at St. Mary's and then

receive a degree upon the completion of a fourth year in an accredited health science program, such as

medical technology. See Combination Degree and Dual Degree and Dental Early Admission Program

under Biological Sciences.

Student Services

Information Technology Services

Information Technology Services (ITS) provides the University community with high quality technology

infrastructure and services in support of its mission to prepare and educate leaders of tomorrow's

world. Students coming to St. Mary's University are asked to bring a lap top to campus. All student

dorms provide Internet access to residents. Over 80% (58/68) of classrooms are equipped with

projection and Internet access, and approximately 1/3 of the classrooms are wired for student

connectivity. We support a Web-based course management system allowing students access to course

materials, communicating with instructors and fellow students, and submission of coursework and

assignments. Wireless access is available in all open areas such as the library, the university center, and

Java City. The academic library houses a student computer lab containing 36 Dell desktop computers

and two HP LaserJet printers. Various departments and programs support their own specialized

computer labs with software tools for students to use.

ITS provides computing support to students, staff, and faculty with its Help Desk staffed with capable

and friendly professionals. Additionally, at Academic Media Center, located on the first floor of the

library, students can receive training on various applications, check out audio-video equipment for their

classes and on-campus activities, or use multimedia stations to develop contents and presentations.

Academic Advising

Statement of Philosophy

Consistent with the "Statement of Mission for St. Mary's University", the primary purpose of the

academic advising program is to assist students in the development of meaningful educational plans

which help shape their values and life goals. Academic advisers assist students by promoting a freshman

through senior year academic advising plan, which encourages student participation in career

exploration. Academic advising is a continuous process of clarification and evaluation. Academic advisers

assist in this process by helping students to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of

their decisions. However, students are ultimately responsible for making decisions about their life goals

and educational plans.

Students are advised by a faculty member of their declared academic major. If students have not

declared a major, they are advised by a faculty member of the School in which they have an interest in

exploring educational opportunities. Undeclared major students are assigned a new academic adviser

when they declare a major.

The academic advising program emphasizes the student-adviser relationship. All students are required

to meet with their academic adviser every semester during their Priority Advising days and are

encouraged to seek their adviser's assistance throughout the academic year.

Library and Instructional Services

Library and Instructional Services, including the Louis J Blume Library, Academic Imaging and Media

Center, and Learning Assistance Center were created to combine all those academic support services

the University seeks to unite all persons on campus at their deepest level of religious consciousness, and

to enrich them through a genuine ecumenical sharing. University Ministry, staffed by religious and laity,

fosters a spirit of community and faith. We provide opportunities to strengthen one's spiritual life and,

in collaboration with other departments, encourage community members to respond to the needs of

others through the celebration of the Eucharist and other Sacraments, prayer, community service, social

justice programming, service immersion experiences, pastoral counseling, retreats, Small Faith-Sharing

Communities, spiritual direction, faith formation and other activities. The Eucharist is offered daily when

Civic Engagement and Career Development Center

The Civic Engagement and Career Development Center supports the University mission by providing

holistic, strategic and innovative services and programs that challenge and support students to succeed

in their career development while serving and engaging in their communities in which they reside and

beyond. The Center places emphasis on the importance of becoming life-long active and engaged

citizens who use their education and experience to make a difference.

Civic engagement, as a part of a Catholic and Marianist education, encompasses the moral development

of the whole person through service, as well as skills, leadership and knowledge needed to build

community and work to resolve public problems for the common good.

The phrase "civic engagement" is used throughout scholarly literature to describe actions designed to

identify and address issues of public concern. Some of the activities that regularly occur at St. Mary's

and serve as a portal to civic engagement include: service-learning course instruction; ongoing volunteer

efforts; immersion trips; and student involvement in programs such as the Marianist Leadership

Program, the WINGS (Workers Invested in Knowledge and Growth throughout Service) initiative and

Continuing the Heritage.

Similarly, the programs and services offered to assist students in their career exploration and planning

are designed to move them through the developmental stages of investigation, preparation and

maintenance of a successful career and are enhanced by their civic engagement experiences.

The staff work with students to discuss majors and career path options, to explore experiential

opportunities such as job shadowing, volunteering, internships, and part-time employment, as well as to

execute a successful job search or graduate school admissions process. The goal of educating students

on making employment choices that best fit them as individuals and lead to productive and meaningful

careers remains a core element of our mission.

The Civic Engagement and Career Development Center will work in partnership with faculty and staff, as

well as external agencies and employers, to assist students at all stages of their development and to

provide them with the opportunities, training, and education needed to succeed as active, informed and

engaged citizens. Www.stmarytx.edu/careerservicves

The Service Learning Center

Founded in 1994, and inspired by the Catholic and Marianist tradition of the University, the Service

Learning Center assists the entire university community in fulfilling its mission of extending service to

society. In particular, the Center challenges and supports students through the service learning

experiences the Center develops.

These curricular and co-curricular experiences engage students in direct service work with the

community, addressing systemic and recurrent social problems in their neighborhoods, and around the

world. By involving these students in critical reflection on today's complex social realities, students

further their academic knowledge, as well as develop life skills and a sense of compassion. This is the

Center's role in the University's aspiration that students become responsible citizens and instruments of

peace and justice. There are a number of service learning experiences that the Center develops,

including: supporting Service Learning courses throughout the University, coordinating service projects

for local direct service agencies, conducting service immersion trips within the city and throughout the

world, supporting the Marianist Leadership Program, and co-sponsoring the Non-Profit Career Fair and

the creation of the San Antonio Service Learning Intercollegiate Collaborative. The Service Learning

Center sponsors intensive service and educational programs that center on a single issue for various

lengths of time, from a weekend, to a week, to an entire summer.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that "in the Catholic tradition, responsible

citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation" (Faithful Citizen ship:

Civic Responsibility for a New Millennium). The Service Learning Center, through its programs that shape

students through their interactions with the larger community, teaches them how to become more

responsible citizens. The Center also helps to fulfill the mission of the University by assisting the faculty

of the University in their efforts to provide a quality education to students, and in their efforts to

contribute to the urgent task of extending justice, freedom and dignity to all people.

Marianist Leadership Program

Funded by the Marianist Trust and administered by the Service Learning Center, the Marianist

Leadership Program is dedicated to scholastic excellence and the development of the student as a

leader through service and spirituality. The Catholic Marianist Spirituality guides members of the

program through the development of lifelong habits by integrating faith and culture through leadership

and service activities within the university and civic communities. Applications are accepted for entering

freshmen, transferring and current students as allowed by current membership size. All majors are

considered.

St. Mary's Core

The Core Curriculum at St. Mary’s University has a privileged role in the education of its

students in accord with its mission as a liberal arts institution. More than a set of disparate

general education requirements, and in distinction (but not separation) from professional, major,

and co-curricular education, the Core Curriculum has the specific purpose of explicitly engaging

students with the perennial question at the heart of the liberal arts: Who are we as human beings?

This perennial question has many dimensions; the Core Curriculum at St. Mary’s focuses on

these five:

1. The question of self-identity

2. The question of the self in relationship to others

3. The question of the self in relationship to wider social structures

4. The question of the self in relation to the natural world

5. The question of the self in relationship to God

Answering these questions requires that students first enter a conversation between their own

lived experience and the broad heritage of human learning and practice, both past and present.

The Core Curriculum also asks students to take their answers from this conversation and embody

them in their own lives of service to others and the common good. Finally, the Core Curriculum

aims to enable students to take the necessary risk of asking and answering these questions again

as their lives and circumstances change.

The Core Curriculum at St. Mary’s has two parts: the St. Mary’s Core, a set of foundational

courses taken by all students, and the School Specific Core, a set of additional courses which

addresses key Core areas and skills and which differs according to the specific undergraduate

school.

For a recommended sequence for taking all Core courses, please see the Undergraduate Catalog

and degree plan for your specific major.

Speech Communication (18 hours)

Speech Communication (SE) can be the ideal minor for the student who is looking to build a successful

career on a foundation of oral communication skills. Speech Communication offers a practical study of

the principles and mechanisms of human interaction: How can the student be most persuasive? How

can the student become an effective, respected leader? How can the student understand, avoid, and,

when necessary, resolve conflict? More than persuasive leaders and successful peacemakers, we want

our graduates to be members of society who are both productive and ethical. For more information,
